Anglo to be gone in weeks - Prof Honohan

[droghedasouth]

In a remarkable near car crash interview with the incomparable Sean O'Rourke on RTE1, the head of the Central bank says that Anglo will be extinguished in a few weeks.
He made clear that its name plate will be removed.
Presumably it will take years to liquidate it, Aynsley and Dukes better start sending out CVs.

'Manageable', he says he used that word because he did not want to say 'not unmanageable'.

It is 'not as good as it was in March' he says.

SO - How much Cash over last few years did we, the tax payer. plough into this bank?

How much have we lost forever?

More shredding of files and forgetting of encrypted codes, I suppose.
Also, Dukes has been rather silent of late.
Will he go back on the cigarettes now?

 

[Squire Allworthy]

What an incredible waste of public funds.

SOR: What have you to say to depositors?

PH: Depositors, they have nothing,.... there is nothing bad in the package for depositors, the ECB is underpinning the stability of the banking system in Ireland, that is unquestioned.

He's going to need to clarify that statement by the end of the day.

A little less than it filtered into the economy.

A cancerous rotten institution. Bury the fukker in an unmarked grave.

He also said that the Irish collatoral put up (that securitised debt) in exchange for ECB cash was just a technical matter. That may be true... but what he didn't tell you was that when this money dried up from the ECB because the collatoral literally became so poor, that the Irish Central Bank stepped in. The worst securitised debt (some 40 billion of it) has been sold to the Irish Central Bank - which is now effectively bankrupt. Wait until this unravels.

You got the cash flows for this?

The crimes commited here will never be discovered. They got away with it.

Let's hope not. I wonder did the Guards manage to find out those passwords yet.

We should leave the carcass of the unfinished Anglo HQ standing forever as a reminder of what happens when financial institutions + politicians cause an almighty mess. It should be the only thing that remains of this rotten bank.

.......

Oh that's nice.
It's nice as well that the Franco/German/UK bondholders are protected. And after yesterday, the Irish taxpayer is holding all the I.O.U's. along with another monster debt with 5.83% interest. A case-study in international asset-stripping and subjugation procedures.
And for comedic effect it's called a "Bail-out".
For further comedic effect, the Irish "invited" the subjugation and designed the plan.
I think the phrase "hiding the dagger" might well be applied to these events in relation to the brilliant German strategy. (Or should that be the Franco-German strategy as IMF head Strauss-Kahn is a possible future French President).
Chopra is a stooge as no self-respecting assassin would be so unprofessional as to appear publicly in the media attempting to justify the events.

did Sean ask about the 172bn Anglo derivatives book?

I cannot understand the reluctance to go after these people, unless it is to protect certain people in government. If codes are encrypted then get a court order to get the codes. If they are not handed over then a spell in Mountjoy and a large fine. As for Seanie Fitz his passport should be taken until such time as this mess is sorted otherwise what is to stop him going off to join his buddies Drumm and Dunne stateside. Everything that has happened since 2008 seems to have been done to protect these people. I pray the incoming Govt use every resource of the State to unravel all of this and mete out Justice. If not FF will hibernate then rise to do it all again.

€20bn in the last two months with collateral that was most likely deemed not acceptable by the ECB.
Where does the NPRF deposit it's cash balances?
